  3. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth. Use a whisk to blend until smooth.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken breast, steamed broccoli, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese over the top. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
